The Big Ten’s worst power play unit is no more.
Coming into Penn State’s 7-4 victory over No. 7 Michigan, the Nittany Lions were 1-for-16 on the power play with the lone goal coming off Clayton Phillips’ stick against Wisconsin in the fourth game of the season.
But in Penn State’s first victory of the season, it was the team’s once-lowly power play attack which proved to be the deciding factor.
The Nittany Lions finished the night 4-for-6 on the power play with three such goals in the second period alone.
Guy Gadowsky said getting the power play unit to work as one was the difference against Michigan.
